3 new features in Android 15 beta 3: Tweaks to wallpaper, timeout, and browsing

Not every Android software update is going to be big, but that doesn't mean they aren't worthwhile.

The third beta for Android 15 launched this week and it brought with it a handful of interface tweaks, but also one handy new feature for those looking to save on battery life. Without wasting any more time, here's what you can expect from Android 15's third beta.

Android 15 beta 3: 3 new features

The list of tweaks, per 9to5Google, isn't very long. But there are a couple of nice touches in there.

Easier wallpaper editing for Pixel Fold

Last year's Google Pixel Fold was a solid first try at a foldable for Google, but nothing can ever be perfect. That's what software updates are for, though.

To be more specific, the wallpaper editor for Pixel Fold devices has been changed in the newest Android 15 beta to let users simultaneously preview edits to the inner and outer displays. It's not a huge change, but it's a very welcome one.

Adaptive timeout

Originally leaked back in April, it appears the "adaptive timeout" feature has finally made its way to the Android 15 beta. This is a new toggle in the "Screen timeout" settings menu that claims to "automatically [turn] off your screen if you're not using your device." You can also just set a static timeout time like always, but this could potentially be a little more intuitive if it just shuts the display off every time you set the phone down.

Android Safe Browsing

Lastly, there appears to be a new "Android Safe Browsing" feature coming to Android. This feature purports to send website and app info to Google to make sure everything is on the up-and-up and that you're not in any danger. This feature apparently doesn't have any way to track your browsing activity, in case you were worried about that.

Meta Connect 2024: What to expect, including Quest 3S and new AR smart glasses

Meta Connect 2024 is so close, you can almost taste it. Launching during the week of Sept. 23, the social media giant is expected to rollout hardware and software goodies that will intrigue VR gamer enthusiasts, AI aficionados, and smart glasses devotees. But what, specifically, does Meta have up its sleeves? We have a few guesses based on credible reports. What to expect at Meta Connect 2024 Last year, the Meta Quest 3 was announced in early June, but it got its full reveal at Meta Connect 2023. The headset boasted a sleeker, more comfortable design, as well as new AR capabilities, that made it more appealing than its predecessor. Once again, for Meta Connect 2024, the social media giant is expected to drop a new VR headset, but it's not necessarily an upgrade over the Quest 3. Meta Quest 3S Rumor has it that Meta is planning on revealing a cheaper, more budget-friendly version of the Quest 3 called "Quest 3S." Tweet may have been deleted Whether it was intent...

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
